This site pissed me off, because of the way I browse. I middle-clicked it to a new tab, waiting for me to get to it in a few minutes, part of a small list of tabs similarly spawned from HN.

When it finished loading (and it must have taken 20 seconds, whatever that says) I was confronted with some kind of "Dallas" TV show blast.

I was startled (but I'm older so you can probably just ignore this reply), and I was pissed that I had created this noise to disturb the people around me.

It's the exact same reaction I have when I queue up a site on another tab, and an advertisement does what this site did to me.

I'll live.
